Literacy Instructional Coaching Academy for CLSD schools

The District of Columbia’s Office of the State Superintendent of Education is forecasting a procurement to engage a vendor to deliver a Professional Development Coaching Academy consisting of five to six sessions focused on enhancing instructional coaching practices across all CLSD schools. The initiative is designed to strengthen literacy instruction by equipping ELA instructional coaches with targeted strategies, tools, and support through structured, high-quality training. Participation in the academy is mandatory for all ELA instructional coaches from schools that receive the CLSD grant, ensuring alignment with district-wide literacy goals and equitable access to effective coaching models. The procurement is intended to build capacity within the coaching infrastructure to drive sustained improvement in reading and language arts instruction districtwide, though specific details on budget, vendor selection criteria, or session content have not been publicly disclosed. The opportunity was posted on July 23, 2026, and is managed under the OSSE’s procurement system with no identified set-aside or NAICS classification.
